Re: Need help on exhaust
ok since im on a high school budget the spintech is out of the category so its either the tsp or the hooker......iv heard hooker is pretty quiet even with headers so im leaning towards the rumbler.....what do you guys think will be better?

Re: Need help on exhaust

Re: Need help on exhaust
Well everyone where I live runs flowmaster and I want something with a more distinct tone....I want something that's turn heads when it fires up.....every video of the aerochamber I watch you can barely hear it idling.....figured the rumbler would put me almost as loud as a loudmouth

Re: Need help on exhaust
Ive heard a few which sound good but there are some that dont sound good at all and drone very badly. with the headers though, it should have a nice sound to it. have you thought about getting cutouts? im sure that would give you turning heads. best of luck

Re: Need help on exhaust
Also could you tell me how much louder it is than a crossflow? And what's the drone like on highway speeds? Sorry about all the questions I just don't want to be disappointed in the exhaust I put on like I was when I put that dynomax ultraflow crossflow on it.....great tone and sound but super quiet

Heres my powersticks on duals. Keep in mind this was barely pushing down on the throttle.
Nice and quite when idle but loud at WOT

Re: Need help on exhaust
the part numbers for the ls1 and lt1 catback are the same so I think they discontinued the lt1 as well.....the hardest part is gonna be finding a reputable dealer to mod it to fit.....have you added headers to Your car since then....was wondering how different my car would sound with the 2460 hookers and ory

Re: Need help on exhaust
I have a hooker cat back on a 3 inch system with hooker headers . It sounds good, definetely loud enough. I like the mello sound of the flowmaster 50 but not sure it would fit on my 91 camaro.
